Classes
What we have to offer...
First and foremost we are a drama school training our pupils to perform in stage plays as well as for the screen, dance shows and musical theatre. We are different from most other stage schools insofar as we give you the choice of being a drama, dance or musical pupil and we do not insist on three hours of stage school training. We have a number of classes available on a Saturday to suit everyone. All of our classes are split into age ranges: 6-8 years, 9-12 years and 13-16 years.
Drama Club
Drama club for 6-8 year olds is a great class to introduce the discipline of drama to the younger child. The class is fun and fast moving ranging from drama games, to character work, to improvisations, story telling and mime. Pupils grow in confidence as they experiment in the creative world of drama.
Drama Production Class and Youth Drama
For the older age groups 9-12 years and 13-16 years, these classes will enable pupils to experience live performance. Throughout the year, acting techniques, vocal training and physical theatre are taught to enhance the drama pupil's overall acting skills, and are integrated into the structure of the class to assist in the rehearsal of a workshop style performances and one major production each year. All genres are covered depending on the group's age and ability helping to keep their imagination stimulated and inspiring creativity.
Singing and Dancing...
Our singing and dancing classes may change with the season depending on who is teaching them and what their speciality is. The emphasis is on variety, giving pupils the opportunity to take part in something that they may not otherwise consider. As with all of our classes, enjoyment must come top of the list, but also placing attention on performance skills giving the pupil confidence to show off their talents.
